Best Answer

That their uniforms are blue-colored is the reason why Italians are called Azzurri.

Specifically, the word functions as the plural form of an Italian adjective or noun. It means "blue-colored ones, blue-wearers, blues (not the music genre)." The pronunciation will be "ad-DZOOR-ree" in Italian.
